The drain pump will run to remove any dirty water from the dishwasher before starting the newly selected cycle. UNDERSTANDING THE INDICATOR LIGHTS When you press Start, the indicator lights will flash rapidly, alternating between the four lights on the left and the four on the right. Simply close the door securely to start the machine. If you open the door and the lights flash, the program has not finished. Close the door and let the machine complete the program. When the dishwasher is done, the indicator lights will come on for the last wash program and options that you used. (NOTE: The machine will not retain the Rinse or Quick program; it will revert to the Normal wash program. ) AMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO USE We recommend that you use only unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent. Generally, one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items, however, may need more detergent. Also, the amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need. (See page 5. ) In any case, you should never use more than three tablespoons of detergent. TEMPERATURE OPTIONS You can select high or low water temperatures for the wash programs (except Rinse). The table to the right shows the temperature options for each program. [. . . ] See "Understanding the Indicator Lights" above. If the temperature of the water entering your dishwasher is below 120°, the dishwasher runs longer because it heats the water to the proper temperature for the program selected. Raising your water heater setting may help shorten the cycle times. If this doesn't resolve the problem, call the ASKO Advisory Center. [. . . ]
